Would you rather?

[Jubal]

I feel like I'd rather be a frying pan but I'm not sure why.

Would you rather have a Demon of Sour Jelly Beans or a Spirit of Residues In The Sink haunting your thoughts?

[The Seamstress]

The Demon of Sour Jelly Beans seems preferrable here...

Would you rather have additional room in your flat or just own the whole house?

[Jubal]

Own the flat, absolutely.

Would you rather have a friendly little lamp with legs that followed you around your home and talked to you gently when you needed it, or a 25% reduction in electricity bills?

[The Seamstress]

I want a lamp friend.

Your guitar is cursed: Would you rather that every time you play, it might randomly squeak, or that if you ignore it for more than five hours, it would scream at you until you finally pick it up and play?

[Jubal]

I think the former and I just switch to playing mandolin: I sleep badly enough as it is without a screaming guitar in the mix.

Would you rather not be allowed to wash your dishes or your clothes for three weeks?

[The Seamstress]

I'd probably run out of clean dishes sooner than I'd run out of clean clothes, so the latter, I guess.

Would you rather write the music for a fantasy or a sci-fi film?

[Jubal]

Fantasy, naturally

Would you rather find the Ancient Archive of Great Wisdom, or the Ancient Book of Sewing Patterns?

[The Seamstress]

I think I could do with some wisdom, but I'm much too curious about the sewing patterns so definitely that one.

Would you rather own a bookshop or a café?

[Jubal]

Bookshop I'm better with book than with cook.

Would you rather have magical powers granted by the gods or by the faeries?

[The Seamstress]

Depends on which gods I get them from, I guess? Or which faeries? But generally, I'd say faeries.

Would you rather have the ability to see other people's greatest wish or greatest fear just by looking at them?

[Jubal]

Greatest wish, I think

Would you rather become the surrogate parent to a baby peacock, or to a child who behaves like a normal human child but is in fact clearly and visibly made out of beach-pebbles?

[The Seamstress]

Beach-pebble kid seems a bit creepy, tbh. So I guess the peacock? Though those are a bit creepy, too. Ugh.

Would you rather share your flat with a wibulnib or a lanfych?

[Jubal]

A lanfych, easily. They're tameable unlike the wibulnibs, and not permanently drunk on cider!

Would you rather meet Saint Oraphas the Wood Sprite or Balderdash the Blemmye Pirate?

[The Seamstress]

I think Saint Oraphas, at least I know him from the song already and he seems quite relatable (not in the religious but in the hermit in the woods kind of way).

Would you rather have one real owlbear or two dozen plush owlbears?

[Jubal]

Depends. If it is The Little Owlbear, a curious, kind and talkative little friend, I'd like her to be real. If it is a D&D 1e Owlbear, 10 foot tall and eats people with its huge serrated beak, I'll stick with the cuddly toys.

Would you rather befriend a grey heron or a grey warden?
